To use the new service put your food waste into your kitchen caddy. When your caddy is full you should empty it into your outside food waste recycling bin ready for collection. You may prefer to put food waste straight into the larger container outside.

You can find out what you can put in your food waste bin but no amount is too small. Even banana skins, tea bags and plate scraping can be recycled.

Food waste collections

Your food waste will be collected on the same day as your rubbish and recycling collections. If you are unsure when your collections are you can check your bin day.

Put your outside food waste bin on the kerbside where you normally place your rubbish and recycling bins for collection.

If you have shared bins that are kept in a bin store you do not need to put these out for collection.
